0–100, higher is better. How it is calculated

Snapshot (snapshot.box) is a decentralized voting platform primarily serving Web3 communities, DAOs, and blockchain projects. It enables users to explore governance spaces, create proposals, and participate in voting. The platform is positioned as a leading tool in decentralized governance, targeting blockchain users and organizations seeking transparent and community-driven decision-making. The company behind the domain is Web3 Privacy LLC, registered in the US in 2024, consistent with the platform's recent launch and focus on emerging Web3 technologies. Technically, the website uses modern JavaScript modules and the Vue.js framework, hosted behind Cloudflare DNS, ensuring good performance and mobile optimization. However, DNSSEC is not enabled, and no advanced security headers are detected, indicating room for security improvements. The website lacks explicit privacy, cookie, and terms of service policies, which impacts compliance and user trust. No contact information or incident response details are provided, limiting transparency. Overall, the site is professional and functional but would benefit from enhanced privacy compliance and security practices.

This scan rated NIS2 with an earlier keyword method that is no longer shown; rescan for the per-article view. Risk management, continuity, supply chain, training, MFA, management oversight (Art. 20) and incident reporting (Art. 23) need internal evidence, and Guard cannot tell whether NIS2 applies to this organisation.

GDPR is indicative only, based on publicly visible signals: Articles 7, 12, 13 and 32 of Regulation (EU) 2016/679 and Article 5(3) of the ePrivacy Directive. Not a certification or legal assessment.

Priority findings

6 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. Email security

    SPF, DKIM and DMARC stop others sending email that looks like it comes from your domain, a common route to phishing and invoice fraud.

    • Critical

      No email authentication configured

      Domain is vulnerable to email spoofing

      What to do: Implement SPF, DKIM, and DMARC immediately

  2. Security headers

    Security headers are instructions your web server sends to every visitor’s browser. Missing ones leave visitors more exposed to attacks such as clickjacking and injected scripts.

    • High

      Missing X-Frame-Options header

      Prevents clickjacking attacks

      What to do: Add "X-Frame-Options: DENY" or "X-Frame-Options: SAMEORIGIN"

    • High

      Missing Content-Security-Policy header

      Controls resources the browser is allowed to load

      What to do: Implement a Content-Security-Policy appropriate for your application

      • ASVS V3.4.3
      • OWASP Secure Headers: OWASP Secure Headers Project recommends Content-Security-Policy: default-src 'self'; form-action 'self'; base-uri 'self'; object-src 'none';…

  3. GDPR outside view

    These are the privacy signals visitors and data protection authorities look for under GDPR.

    • High

      No Cookie Policy found

      GDPR requires clear information about cookie usage

      What to do: Add a dedicated cookie policy explaining cookie usage and purposes

    • High

      No Cookie Consent Banner found

      GDPR requires explicit consent for non-essential cookies

      What to do: Implement a cookie consent banner that appears on first visit

Results by check

Each check with its score, findings and the evidence it collected.

How this score is calculated

The security score runs 0–100, higher is better. It is the plain average of the security checks that completed in this scan, each counted equally. A check that could not run is left out: it counts neither as a pass nor as a fail.

Not counted

  • NIS2 outside view: Re-weights evidence from the TLS, email, DNS, network and hygiene checks, so counting it would count that evidence twice. Shown on its own.
  • OffSeq Observations: An AI reading of the site, useful context but not reproducible evidence. Shown on its own.

Findings that cap the score at 49

Each of these is serious on its own, so while any is present the site cannot rate better than high risk, however good the other checks are.

  • The certificate is not trusted by browsers
  • The website is not served over HTTPS
  • A database, remote desktop, file-sharing or Telnet service is reachable from the internet
  • The page loads a script from a compromised source
  • The domain registration has expired
  • SPF authorises every server to send mail as the domain

Partial scans

When the site blocks Guard or most checks cannot run, the score covers only the checks that ran (usually DNS and email), is capped at 75 and is shown as partial, without a risk level.

Technical appendix

Business context, site observations and technical notes gathered during the scan, and the standards behind each reference.

Business context

Business profile

Snapshot operates in the blockchain governance sector, offering a decentralized voting interface widely adopted by DAOs and Web3 projects. Its business model revolves around providing a free or open platform for governance participation, likely monetized indirectly through ecosystem partnerships or integrations. The platform's competitive advantage lies in its decentralized, user-friendly interface and verified spaces for major blockchain projects like Arbitrum, Aave, and Decentraland. The target audience includes blockchain developers, DAO members, and crypto enthusiasts. The company is relatively new, founded in 2024, and maintains a small organizational size. The absence of direct contact details and formal policies suggests a lean operational model focused on technology delivery rather than traditional corporate structures. The partnership ecosystem is implied through verified spaces but no explicit partner domains are listed.

Security posture

The security posture of snapshot.box is moderate. The site uses HTTPS and Cloudflare DNS, which provides a baseline of security and performance. The domain status clientTransferProhibited prevents unauthorized transfers, enhancing domain security. However, the lack of DNSSEC reduces DNS security robustness. No security headers such as Content-Security-Policy or Strict-Transport-Security are detected, which are recommended best practices. The absence of privacy and cookie policies, incident response contacts, and vulnerability disclosure mechanisms indicates gaps in compliance and security transparency. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were identified in the HTML content. Overall, the platform is secure enough for general use but should improve its security headers and compliance documentation to strengthen trust and resilience.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to enhance DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  2. Implement and publish comprehensive privacy and cookie policies to improve GDPR and privacy compliance.
  3. Add security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security to harden the website against common attacks.
  4. Provide clear contact information including incident response and abuse contacts to improve transparency and user trust.
  5. Publish a security.txt file and vulnerability disclosure policy to encourage responsible reporting and improve security posture.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built using modern web technologies including ES modules and the Vue.js framework, indicating a contemporary and maintainable codebase. Hosting via Cloudflare DNS suggests good performance and availability. The site is mobile optimized with responsive design elements. However, SEO optimization is basic with minimal meta tags and no Open Graph or JSON-LD structured data detected. Accessibility features are basic but present. No CMS or third-party analytics/tracking scripts were detected in the provided HTML, indicating a lightweight footprint. The absence of security headers and DNSSEC are technical gaps. Overall, the technical infrastructure is solid for a startup Web3 platform but can be enhanced with additional security and SEO best practices.
Standards and sources

Reference chips under each finding point to the standard, regulation or specification the finding relates to. They are taken from the official datasets below and mapped conservatively: a finding with no defensible link shows none. NIS2 and GDPR references mark where a finding is relevant evidence, not a compliance verdict. Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690 binds digital infrastructure and digital service providers; for other entities it is the most detailed public reading of the Article 21 measures. WCAG, EN 301 549, European Accessibility Act and Web Accessibility Directive references name the requirement an automated accessibility rule relates to; they are not a conformance verdict.
